The Gulf carrier, Emirates Airlines has also announced that it will resume all its suspended flights to India from 1st April 2022 onwards. The airline in its statement said that all its 170 flights to India, were suspended in March 2020, when the COVID 19 pandemic hit the country and due to some strict measures taken by the government of India.

Emirates will operate 35 flights to Mumbai, 28 to Delhi, 24 to Bengaluru, 21 to Chennai, 21 to Hyderabad, 11 to Kolkata, 9 to Ahmedabad and 7 to Thiruvananthapuram.
